Bug Description

Version 0.6.4-1ubuntu1 of the package changed the group used from libvirt to libvirtd, however libvirt-bin.postinst wasn't updated to create the different group. This prevents the service from starting.

There should probably also be a migration script that moves the users in the libvirt group to the libvirtd group.

The group has always (except for one time where I mismerged it) been called libvirtd in Ubuntu. The bug is that I (once again) mismerged it. Darn it. I'll fix it straight away. Thanks!

  * Also rename the libvirt group to libvirtd in postinst/postrm.
